Former United States President Donald Trump plans to appear in court in Washington on January 9, NBC News reported citing three people familiar with the matter. The court date is related to Trump's appeal to a ruling stating that he is not immune from prosecution for potential crimes he committed while in office.
Trump's lawyers are expected to present arguments in favor of his immunity claim, which allegedly shields him from charges of election interference. US District Judge Tanya Chutkan decided on December 1, 2023, that Trump is not immune from prosecution, which was later confirmed on appeal.
